Effects of Physical Activity and Sleep Quality in Prevention of Asthma
Journal Title: Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology Advances - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Evidence indicates that regular exercise reduces respiratory symptoms of asthma and improves pulmonary volumes and capacities. This is also a correlation between sleep quality and respiratory Parameters. The purposes of this study was to role of physical activity and sleep quality in prevention of asthma, comparison of respiratory parameters, and sleep quality in active and inactive men. healthy young male aged 20-24 years, voluntarily participated in the study in tow groups (each n=15) namely active and inactive Respiratory parameters including: forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), Percentage of Forced expiratory volume in the first second (% FEV1), Forced vital capacity (FVC), maximum forced expiratory flow rates at 25and 75% of expired FVC (MEF25% and %75) were measured by spirometer with standard procedures Pittsburg sleep quality index (PSQI) used to measure sleep quality. The values of FVC (P <0.023), FEV1 (P<0.000), %FEV1 (p<0.031), MEF25% (p<0. 026), MEF75% (P<0.042) showed a significant increase in active group compared to the inactive group. Score of Sleep Quality Index was significantly lower in active group (p< 0.002). In active group, was observed reduce in score of sleep quality with per unit increase in quantities some of respiratory parameters. The results of this study indicated that Physical activity could cause some changes in the pulmonary volumes and capacities as well as sleep quality levels, so that could be helpful in prevention of asthma. We suggest further investigations to be prove the idea.
